Like many people, I enjoy a good podcast.  I was listening to Tetragrammaton the other night, and the guest was Pulitzer Prize-winning author and playwright David Mamet. During the interview, Mamet referenced his novel, "Recollections of St. Ives." More specifically, he spoke about one of his characters, Mr. Ruskin, a teacher, who suggests an innovative way of teaching history by giving students a few dollars and sending them to a vintage store to buy an item, then having them return to class and do a "show and tell" about it. You can imagine how this could work.

Good Morning Bakerview Families,

As 'NSYNC famously sings "It's Gonna be May." Time is moving quickly and we are starting to prepare for graduation and year end. While the weather forecasts sun and fun, it is important that all students continue to attend regularly and complete their coursework.

Congratulations to our Student of the Month for April Kaiden Pepping!

Each year the Abbotsford School District must approve a balanced budget by June 30^th.

A few weeks ago, I shared my thoughts on the benefits of physical activity for both our minds and bodies. As we approach March Break, it feels timely to highlight the importance of rest and relaxation. Taking a break is something I personally struggle with, and I know many of you do, too. Our principals and vice principals, in particular, often find it challenging to take a lunch break when there are hundreds of students to supervise. Despite our best intentions to take a moment "later" to eat and catch our breath, sometimes "later" never comes.
